attend to it in time,
Declination of Mr. Borland,
Isaac DottLAND, who was nominated for Treas
urer by the Porter branch of the Locofxo party, has
declined the honor of being a candidate. In a note
to the publishers of the Hollidaysburg Beacon Light,
under date of the sth September, Mr. Dorland says
o I , perhupp, ought to be under obligations to those
who brought about the arrangement; but us I have
already experienced the bad effects of being consid
ered a partisan candidate, I must decline the honor
intended, and request you to withdraw my name.—
Should I ever appear before the public as a candi
date for any office, it shall be on my own footing."
" Ettocked Under."
The Beacon Light has at last knocked under to
the Standard and Anti•Porteritcs, and hoisted the
"regularly nominated Democratic (late Working.
[for Porter].mens') Ticket," headed by Thomas P.
Campbell and Edward Dell, Esquires. The Porter
Ticket, headed by William McKnitt and Edward
Bell must, therefore, depend solely on the Vice-hol
ders—who are not quite as numerous as their
brcthern, the officewekers—for support.
Vermont Election.
" That Same Old Coon" is still alive in Vermont.
The election for Governor is over, and the " Green
Mountain Boys" have again covered themselves
with glory. The returns in 140 towns, as far as
heard from, give Mattocks (Whig) nearly 4000 ma
jority over Kellog, (Locofoco.)
Ist Congressional District.
EDWARD Joy Moan IS, Esq., has been nominated
for Congress by the Whigs of the Ist District, com
posed of Southwark, Moyamensing, and Passyunk,
and Cedar Ward and New Marl. 4 Ward, of the
city of Philadelphia.
Cumberland County.
The Whigs of Cumberland met in County Con.
vention, last week, and resolved not to nominate
any candidates for the present contest.
_ . _
Judge Black, a Porterite, of Perry county, and
Judge Miller, an Anti Porterite, of Cumberland, are
the candidates for Congress. The Whigs will vote
for the latter who is and always has been a Tariff

Freshet.
The continued heavy rains which hod been fall
ing for a week or ten days past, raised the Juniata
river to an unusnal height on Friday and Saturday
last.
It is said the Raystown Branch has not been so
higli since 1810.
A breach in the Canal, of perhaps 1.50 feet, oc
curred two or three miles below this place.
The Stage' and Packets wore delayed, the water
being up over the turnpike in Jack's Narrows.
We arc informed that considerable damage has
been storeicd on the Rartown Dvanch of the Ju
niata.
Xlection of Canal Commissioners--
The People want a Change,
After all the fighting and wrangling that was
carried on between the Porter and the Anti-Porter
factions of the Locofocos—. Lumbermen," " Kick
spoor," " Winncbagoes" and all—they have at
length partially buried the tomahawk and scalping
knife and are now smoking the calumet of peace, in
order to make a death fight against the " universal
Whig party" on the second Tuesday in October.—
Having met in State Convention, and nominated a
ticket for Canal Commissioners, composed of men
who have all been tried and proved expert PLUN
DERERS, they have dropped the quarrel and fight
among themselves for the present, and united upon
the nominees, satisfied that if elected, the same sys
tem of plunder which has been carried on by the
present Board and which has sunk them deeply in
the estimation of all honest men, will be continued.
The office holders and office seekers have combined
to perpetuate this system of plunder. But the
people, the honest and untrammelled of all parties,
are determined that there shall be a change ;—that
the revenue raised on our rail roads and canals shall
no longer be squandered among office holders and
favorites of the "Royal Family," hut shall be op
plied to the payment of the debts of poor, bleeding,
tax-ridden Pennsylvania.
The following plain and truthful statement from
the Pennsylvania Intelligencer, shows the great ne
cessity of the change for which the people are con
tending.
*360 1 595 98 !
Is the amount of EXPENDITURES ovsn RE
CEIPTS on the finished lines of the I'ublie works
of Pennsylvania in 1839-40, when JAMES
CLARK, of Indiana, was President of the Board
of Canal Commiss , 'oners whilst the year before,
under an honest administration of the public affairs,
the same Public works yielded a REVENUE to
the State, over and above all expenses, of
$354,180 17 I!
The difference of expenditures between these two
years, was thus
$ VaaU 9 tMa)o. 4d3 2 2 2
Here was the enormous sum of upwards of SE
VEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
lost to the State in a single year, by the misman
agement of the public officers, or by the outrageous
system of WHOLESALE PLUNDER practiced
by those officers on the Public works. This sum
properly appropriated, would have been sufficient to
have paid nearly the half of the interest of the
Public Debt, and relieved the people of one year's
taxation. It cannot be pretended for a moment that
this enormous expenditure was necessary to carry
on the works. It is clear that the money was squan
dered upon political favorites as a reward for parti
zan services.
Now the question is an interesting one to the
people of Pennsylvania at this time—under whose
who is now the Locofoco candidate for the same
office, WAS THEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD
7 ommiB9toltEns
What confidence can the people have in the abil
ity or integrity of a public officer under whose ad
ministration of the public works such astounding
corruption and plunder was permitted I Will they
—can they reinstate him in the same office, to re.
vive perhaps, the same system again, at a time when
the Commonwealth is bleeding at every pore, and
when every dollar of public revenue ought to be
carefully husbanded and appropriated to the pay.
ment of the interest due to the innocent and suffer-
Mg holders of her State bonds, her Domestic credi
tors, and the poor, but honest laborers who have
toiled in her service, and have been cheated by her
dishonest agents? We greatly mistake the feelings
and temper of the people of Pennsylvania on this
subject, if they do. They want a change in she
management of affairs on the Public Improvements
-A
THOROUGH •ND RADICAL CHARGE. For this
purpose they have taken the appointment of the
Commissioners from the Governor, and resolved to
take it into their own hands. The Locofbco party,
however, any, to the people now— , 4 the old qfficers
are good enough—they know best how to manage
the Improvements FOR THE GOOD OF THE
PARTY, and you must elect such men. CLARK
and FOSTER have both had experience on the
public works, and they always tnanaged things
admirably FOR THE PARTY !"
But will the people submit to this party dicta
tion? No! The election of Clark and Foster
would defeat the very object they had in view in
making the Commissioners elective. They desired
by that act to take the management of the Improve
ments out of the hands of the old officers, and
place them in the hands of NEW MEN—men who
are entirely disconnected from the rotten, crum
bling administration of David R. Porter. This they
can accomplish by voting for the men placed on the
Democratic Whig Ticket. Elect TWEED,
GUILFORD and WEAVER, and you will have
a Board of Commissioners composed of NEW max
- -CAPABLE AND HONEST MEN—who will conduct
the business entrusted to their hands FOR THE
BENEFIT OF THE STATE, and not solely for
the benefit of a pnrty.

Pretended Robbery.
The Baltimore papers on Wednesday the Gth
inst., contained an account of an extensive robbery
said to have been committed in Frederick city on
Monday previous. It appears that Mr. EDWARD
Iva, a Broker of Baltimore, was entrusted by sever•
al Banks and individnals with a large amount of
money to be taken to Frederick and Hagerstown.
He arrived at Frederick on Monday evening, stop.
pod at Zimmerman's Hotel, took his supper and re
tired to bed ; and in the morning reported that he
had been robbed. Search was immediately made,
and a reward offered for the recovery of the money,
but nothing heard of it, and lan proceeded back to
Baltimore.
On his return to Baltimore he was examined by
several officers, and so closely questioned that he
equivocated and contradicted himself, and finally
was compelled to acknowledge that he himself was
the robber. The money in question,—consisting of
five packages of Frederick and Washington county
Bank paper belonging to the Merchants' Bank, the
Mechanics' Bank, and to Messrs. Johnson & Lee,
comprising an aggregate of between $17,000 and
slB,ooo,—was all recovered, not having been taken
out of Baltimore. Isa was suffered to depart un
molested, and, it is thought, is now on his way to
Texas, or some other congenial port.
More of the Robberies—Restitu
tion—Arrest, &c.
On Friday morning last, the watch, jewels and
spectacles stolen from Jackson's the preceding Sat.
urday night, together with the watch stolen from
Steel's the previous Sunday night, were found in
the entry of Jackson's house, carefully wrapped in
a newspaper. It is supposed they were placed there
on Thursday night before the house was closed.
On Saturday afternoon the money stolen from Mr.
Jacobs was dropped into the post-office, in a letter
addressed "to the man who lost the money in the
white house near Jackson's."
A young man, rather genteelly dressed, who had
been loitering about town for several days, was, on
Sunday, arrested as a vagrant, and after examina
tion before Daniel Africa, Esq., he was committed
to prison. He gave his name as If. B. Howard.—
The same night two Constables started in pursuit of
a Dutchman, passing under the name of Nsm,szr,
Who arrived in town on Saiurtiay night and took
lodging at one of our hotels, where he delivered his
pocket book to the bar-keeper for safe keeping.—
The pocket book was apparently well filled ; but on
opening it at the request and in the presence of
some of our citizens, it was found to contain a
handkerchief carefully folded up, but nothing else!
The officers, however, were not able to find him
after he took to his heels.
These two persons and the one committed to jail
on Monday of last week, it is ascertained, came to
Hollidaysburg together, and remained there some
days. They came to this plat, one by "me, a few
from rfimtoriod,.., ....1,..... 4.... r...., ~......

,rl,
GEN. M'CULLOCWB NOMINATION.
It will be seen by some articles copied into this
paper, that the Locofoco nomination for Congress
does not go down well with some of the party.—
There is trouble in the wigwam.
We have copied a letter and an editorial article
from the Democratic Standard, which seem to scalp
the "login" fairly, and we have an article from the
Juniata Spirit of the Times which applies the torch
to him, but we must reserve that for next week,
giving for the present only this brief extract.
If such is the man that has been gratuitously
presented to us by men professing political friendship,
and in the face of our remonstances, we know of no
principle of justice requiring submission in the peo-
ple of Juniata county, nor can we see that our equal
rights will be in any worse condition than they have
been by being antlered to drop into the hands of
our political opponents. In the stabs of an enemy
there is less poignance than when inflicted by a
friend, notwithstanding the fatal consequences may
be the same. We shall therefore be disappointed if
the democratic citizens of Juniata will not seek that
redress from opposition which they have hitherto
expected at the hands of their political friends as
their equitable rights."
aj The Locofoco Congressional Conferees of
this county, appointed on the 29th of August, have
published, in the Lewistown Republican, an Address
to the " Democracy" of this district, in which they
set forth their grievances in being excluded from
the Conference at Lewistown. The address embo
dies a letter from Gen. A. P. Wilson, dated 6th
inst., declining a nomination for Congress.
William Tweed, Msg.
The Sunberry American in a brief notice of the
Whig nominations for Canal Commissioners says:
"Mr. TwEnn of this County, is well known as an
lamest and able man."
This is the testimony of an enemy, from the home
of Mr. Tweed, where he is best known. The mine
may he and will be said of Messrs. Guilford and
Weaver, in their respective homes. These are the
kind of men—honest and able—that the people of
Pennsylvania want for their Canal Commissioners.
More Looofoco Trouble.
The Porter and Anti-Porter divisions of the Lo
cofoco party in Cumberland, Perry and Franklin,
have now two candidates in the field. Judge BLACK
of Perry, a Porter man, succeeded in getting the
regular nomination, and the Antics have brought
out Gen. Tuo. C. MILLER as their candidate:
The Carlisle Statesman, referring to the nomina
tion of Judge Black, says: 4 'The people here
look upon the nomination of a Porter man as a
great outrage committed upon them by the Kicka
poo chiefs of this county and Perry, and they will
speak out in such a way at the polls in favor of
Gen. Miller as to convince these dictators that Kick
apro trickery will no longer be submitted to in
silence."
A Dancing Master recently in his card offer
ed "his most respectable shank., to all who bad
honerecl him with their patronage."
Unparallelled Speed !! ! ! I
The Philadelphia Forum says--We have heard
of the ten leagued boots of Jack the Giant Killer,
of Northern men with Southern principles, and of
John C. Calhoun's political somersets, but we never
could conclave of such a perfect change, annihila
ting both time and distance as was exhibited by the
locos at the Canal Convention oil Tuesday. After
Mr. Clarke and Jesse Miller, had been nominated,
the great struggle to choke off the Cameron influ
ence resulted in the choice of Mr. Foster of Alk
gheny. Thus all three members were from the
west of Susquehanna, the claims of the North hav
ing been entirely thrust aside. Mr. Foster of Alle
gheny was announced as elected, but some time
after, there appeared an extra containing the official
proceedings, in which he was designated as Mr.
Foster of Bradford !
This was speed indeed—for Mr. Foster was a
resident of Pittsburg at 5 o'clock P. M. but before
dark he had travelled some 250 miles to Bradford
county, where he had not been before, even on a
visit, for 18 months—had taken bag and baggage,
pitched his tent and became a regular bona fide resi
dent of Bradford county—all for the sake of having
a nomination hail" from the North for one of the
Canal Board Candidates.
And they hope to gull the people by this trick--
the Western locofocos, who for years have subsis
ted on the plunder of our public works, hope to
have all three Commissioners in their interest, that
they may go on robbing the State, and tax payers
yet a little longer.
Pennsylvanians! look to this shallow artifice!
Look that you perpetuate not the plunder system
by casting your votes for these men. !
The Locofoco candidates for Canal Commission
ers are all from the Western or Northern part of
the State—Clark from Indiana—Miller from Perry
—and Poster from Bradford. This it is understood
was under an agreement in the party, that the Go
vernor should be from the East. In this way are
the people sold, by truckling politicians. It remains
to be seen, whether the people of the party, in the
east, will consent to he deprived of any representa
tion in te canal board through this bargaining.—
Reading Journal.
Our friend of the Journal is in error. The La
cofoco Candidates are all from the West ! Foster
hails from Allegheny, though his friends represent
that it is his intention to remove to Bradford. If
the Convention desired to pay any respect to the
claims of the North for a candidate, why not take a
candidate from that district who has resided in it at
least long enough to become acquainted with its in
terests and its wants, and not bring a man into it
from a distant part of the Commonwealth, regard
less of the claims of Northern men. No, this did
not suit the purposes of the party. They must
have candidates who can be tnoulded into whatever
shape the leaders of the party desire. The gentle
men named as candidates from the North and East,
Ivitscu we eahometes &re
,;17,1; I to be used after they aro elected.
If Mr. Foster is defeated, which is highly proba•
ble, ho will remain a resident of Allegheny county.

The Wilkesbarre Advocate says—_a This Memo
rial of the brave men who fell in defence of their
country is on the eve of completion. Six weeks
hence, and the many who have been anxiously
waiting to witness the evidence which liberality has
consecrated to patriot valor, will be gratified by see.
ing the Cap stone upon the Wyoming Monument.
The shaft is now some forty feet in height—the
stone for all of it cut and ready to be placed, and the
work going on swiftly and surely. A hearty good
speed to all engaged, and for the thousandth time a
thousand thanks to the Ladies, whose perseverance
is so nearly being rewarded."
Remarkable Suicide.
On Tuesday, the 12th inst., as the train of cars
front Harrisburg were passing on the Columbia
Railroad about four miles above the Inclined plane,
one of the passengers who had left the car and ran
for a short distance along side the train, threw him
self under the wheels and was instantly crushed to
death. His name was ascertained to be Charles
Ate about 43 years of age, on his way from Mercer
county to Philadelphia, and who some time since
worked as a miller in or near Norristown. A son
of his, 14 years of age, was with him, who states
that dating the morning his father expressed to hint
a desire to kill himself. An inquest was held by
the Coroner. Verdict, suicide.
